Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
GCL just reported a 3rd Q. miss and the stock has crashed 25%. Please give your assessment of this company...especially there financial strength...debt vs. cash on hand. Do you think they qualify as a contrarian play or are the risks just too high. Also since the 4th Q. appears poor do you think they are vulnerable to tax loss selling?
Thanks for your consistent excellence...

Q: In response to your answer to the Qs below about the dividend type for A&W:

The dividends paid out are treated as non-eligible dividends (not interest) which means that the gross up and dividend tax credit is lesser than eligible dividends. But you do get the credit and do not pay the same tax as interest income. So I think your answer that the dividends are taxed as income is incorrect.

It is interesting that Boston Pizza's distribution is either eligible dividend or return of capital (all of A&W distribution is non eligible due to the distributions coming from holding company to A&W royalties).
